Summary

Prescott Elementary School is a public elementary school in Portland, Oregon, serving grades PK-5 with 287 students. The school is part of the Parkrose School District 3, which is ranked 130 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Prescott Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past 10 years. The school faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 34.3% to 46.6% in recent years, well above state and district averages. Academically, Prescott students perform well below their peers, with only 12.5% of 3rd graders proficient in math in 2024-2025, compared to 40.1% statewide and 26.6% in the Parkrose district. The school also struggles to effectively serve certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 20% of Oregon schools for African American and English Language Learner students, as well as those from low-income backgrounds and with special needs.

While Prescott Elementary faces substantial obstacles, there are pockets of relative strength, such as 5th grade English Language Arts performance, which was 43.6% proficient in 2024-2025. Nearby Russell Elementary and Sacramento Elementary schools in the Parkrose district have higher academic performance and lower chronic absenteeism, suggesting that with the right strategies and resources, Prescott could see significant improvement.
